Wiki High Risk Paps

[andrea8255@yahoo.com]

Hi our practice has recently started doing paps and there is some confusion over the proper way to bill out and code for High Risk Paps. All of our patients fall into the high risk status due to being HIV Positive. We have been using the G0101 and the Q091. We were just reading about adding the V15.89 for high Risk patients. Is that correct or can someone suggest another way. Mostly for Medicare but also for UHC.
Thanks Andrea

I do use V15.89 for high-risk Medicare Paps and would also include HIV positive dx.

Do you use the V15.89 plus the regular screening code or in place of it. My brain seems to tell me that it would be added to the regular screening codes but I just wanted to check!
Thanks
